The way the government implements free public basic education

Education is fundamental to a person's development and growth. It is one of the strongest

instrument a person could have to gain a better future. It is a tool which helps a person
become the best version of himself. Unfortunately not everyone is lucky enough to be able
to attain being send to school to learn that is why the government implementing free public
basic education is considered a very very big help to people who can't afford going to
private schools. Free public basic education is education funded through government
spending or charitable organizations rather than tuition funding. Having free education,
means that there is a lot of opportunities to grab and there is no reason anymore to not go
to school.
As everything in our world have pros and cons, free education just the same have
advantages and disadvantages. First advantage is the students will have their own freedom
to choose what course they want to take. Some students just take programs that they think
is practical or those that won't cost so much. Being passionate and having interest in your
field of study will help the students to study harder. Second, better perspective in life.
Having a complete educational attainment makes a person feel confident and will help the
individual to success. There are those other people that were not able to finish their studies,
some regretted that they did not study while they can. Third, more students that can’t afford
to go to college, will be able to attain this kind of education. The students do not need to
drop out anymore for reasons like they don’t have money to pay their tuition fees, or for
some they do not need to stop studying just to take part time jobs to have money. On the
other hand the disadvantages of having free education are First, unfairness with other
students. One of the sad truths when in comes to free education some individuals have their
so-called backers, which makes it difficult for others to obtain help from these projects.
Second, the free education isn’t free at all. Yes, you are not the ones who will pay directly to
your tuition, but the people who are paying their taxes. Third, some or other students will
not be appreciative of their education because they have access to it easily. Some students
will just take it easy since their education is free, and there was no spending at your own
cost done and some will not even study hard because they know that they do not pay for it.
If the free education will be use in a positive way, this will benefit our economy and improve
the society and ourselves as well.
